Craig Mazin has next season’s ‘Last of Us’ in his head. If only the strike would settle

“What ‘The Last of Us’ really explores is the duality of love, not love and hate, just love,” says series showrunner Craig Mazin. “What ‘The Last of Us’ really explores is the duality of love, not love and hate, just love,” Mazin tells The Envelope. “And then he wrote a fantastic script and the strike happened and everyone’s waiting around.” His 2019 miniseries “Chernobyl,” about the 1986 nuclear disaster in the USSR, marked a turning point in a career writing comedies like the two sequels to “The Hangover,” “Scary Movie 3 and 4” and “Identity Thief.” “The influence that Chernobyl had on ‘The Last of Us’ is more about the filmmaking itself,” says Mazin, who directed the first episode of Season 1 of the postapocalypse series and plans to direct more in the second season. “There’s a science fiction aspect of ‘The Last of Us’ that is served well by a realistic approach.” “Chernobyl” won 10 Emmy Awards.
